Cortex Command is a side scroller that features up to 4 player spiltscreen action, developed independently by Data Realms LLC. Dynamic 2D pixel graphics coupled with an extremely detailed physics engine makes for replayable and emergent gameplay. It won the Audience Award and Award for Technical Excellence at IGF 2009.

I've been waiting for this to come out for a while now. The game has infinite replayability for me and the variation in faction stuff is also pretty cool. Still, the community mods will be the best thing.

I've been watching this game for years, It's good to see it finally get a release - and a metagame that made harvesting gold worthwhile. For the longest time it was just an awesome physics sandbox, rather than a real game.
